Bercy targets fuel tax niches for 2027 budget

Kiswahili

Amid surging fuel prices, Bercy sent a circular to ministries to scrutinize "brown" tax niches, over half of which relate to fuels. The document outlines orientations for May fiscal conferences ahead of the 2027 finance bill. The goal is to cut fiscal spending.

On Thursday, Bercy's Direction de la législation fiscale and Direction du budget sent a circular to various ministries. The letter sets out the main orientations for "fiscal conferences" scheduled for May, as part of preparations for the initial 2027 finance bill.

The document asks ministries to identify measures for inclusion in the draft, emphasizing cuts to fiscal spending costs. Key targets include a thorough review of "brown" fiscal expenditures, over half of which are fuel-related tax niches.

This move comes amid heated political debate on fuel taxation during surging prices. Bercy aims for budgetary savings next year, against a backdrop of public finance pressures.
